A brief dispatch to the Astorian
last night told of the; defeat of the
Astoria High School eleven by the
Salem team. The score was 9 to 0.
The score indicates a fairly close
game, at all events, even if the As
toria boys were not able to score at
all.
On Saturday the Astoria team is
scheduled to play with the Eugene
team, and it is recognized that they
are going against a hard tcarr there,
and especially after having already
played two games in the week the
boy will probably have an up-hill
job. But even at worst the Astoria
team will come home with one game
to their credit and against a good
team at that, and if by good fortune
they win from F,ugenc the trip will
have been far more of. a victorious
one than even the well wisher of
the Astoria boy could have reason
ably anticipated. .
First Company
The first company' held its regular
drill last night, and in the absence
of Capt. , Abercrombie, Lieutenant
Karl Knobloch took charge of the
work. The company was again di
vided into three sections, one drilling
in the manual of arms, the second at
bayonet exercises and the third at
the setting up exercises. The sec
tions will give exhibition drills of
these movements on the night of
November II, when the members of
the Astoria Relief Corp will present
the company with a flag. ,The enter
tainmerjt committee, was authorized
last night to go ahead and make all
arrangements for the military hop,
to be given on the Saturday night
preceding Thanksgiving, and it was
premised that no gentleman who
does not wear a uniform of some de
scription may attend the dance. The
uniform may be either begged, bor
rowed or stolen, but every man must
wear one. This military hop prom
ise to- be a very fine one, The sec
tion that has not yet had target prac
tice will go out bunday morning,
meeting at the armory at 8:30
o'clock.

EVERYTHING

!
Expected To Recover
Lum Chack, the little Chinese boy
who was operated upon for appen
dicitis at St. Mary's hospital on
Tuesday evening, passed a comfort
able day yesterday and good hopes
are entertained for his recovery. It
is remarked by the hospital nurses,
however, that as a rule the Chinese
do not betray much recuperative
power after surgical operations, and
this fact, which has often been noted,
give rise to interesting conjecture.
It is well known that among the
Chinese the belief seems universal
that one might as well be dead as
maimed. One seldom if ever sees a
Chinese with a leg or arm gone. It
is even said they purposely kill pa
tients who are injured in such s
manner that deformity or loss of
limb is likely to ensue. Ages of be
liefs of this kind apparently do not
give them that mental stimulative
power which the white man 13 apt
to have in abundance; and back of
if all is the Shintoism or Brahmaism
that teaches them ."a " fatalism that
ignores' surgery and kindred aids.
Prisoner a Song Bird-
James J. Prendergast, a stowaway
sailor, who is a prisoner in the city
til serving a ten-day sentence, has
a beautiful tenor voice, and he whiles
away many an hour in his cell by
singing ballads and old-time songs.
Frendergast was taken off from a
vessel that touched here from San
Francisco en route 1o Portland. He
had stowed away. There is a pecu
liar quality about the man's voice

that lend it charm and interest, and
probably nilny of the i professional
singer who have appeared in As
toria theatres the past year might
suffer greatly in comparison with
thi prisoner in the city jail. When
Prendergast gings the police officers
tTp-toe to the door and listen,, and
officials upstairs in the city hall come
down to hear. His voice is roughen
ed by the life he has evidently led of
late years, and one wanders whether
the acoustic properties of the city
jail add, or detract, from the tones.
"I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls,"
"Bent Bolt" "Love Me and the
"World is Mine," and other songs of
equal beauty are on his lips much of
the time. "No," said Prendergast
yesterday. "I never had any train
ing; just picked it up from my
mother and sisters." He is a young
man, with a north of Ireland name
and an English accent, and evidently
doesn't tell the whole truth when he
states he has had no training. But if
the local moving picture theatres
want a singer they might bail Prend
ergast out i
Astorian In Danger
Cashier J. R. A. Bennett, of the
First National Bank, of this city, yes
terday received a very interesting
letter from W. W. Ridchalgh, at
Montreal and then on the eve of his
departure' for England, on the steam
ship Virginian. Mr. Ridehalgh, his
wife and children were on the Cana
dian Pacific train that was wrecked
lately within a day's ride out from
Vancouver, and judging from the
text of his letter, in reference to the
disaster, they must have had a thrill
ing "few moments." Mr. Ridehalgh
says: "We were nearly killed while
coming over the Kockies, ihe car
we were in turned over on its side,
and only for a telegraph pole and
two switch-stands, we would be roll
ing down hill yet." The accident to
the train occurred on- the crest of a
mountain precipice practically 600
feet high above the stream and val
ley it rose from. There are those in
Astoria who will be glad to know
that Mr. and Mrs. Ridchalgh and
children escaped all injury.
His Services Completed
The directors of the Oregon Coast
Railway Company, the subsidiary or
ganization formed as a holding com
pany for the proposed electric line
company, have dispensed ' with ' the
services of F, L. Evans,' .who' had
been employed 'to assist irt promot
ing the work, as his employment was
no longer required. The services of
H. G. Van Dusen have been secured
for . the purpose of securing the
rights of way between Jiere and Sea
side. This task is likely to Drove
guite a lengthy one, as nothing had
been done in the way of preparing
the deeds, and other like work,
though very little difficulty is antici
pated in getting the rights of way
from property owners. The prog
nostications ot commencing 'work on
the proposed line by October I, as
frequently made last summer, seem
to have been merely so much boom
talk. It is hoped to have the rights
of way secured by January 1. Mean
time nothing has been heard from
the agent of the Philadelphia com
pany who was entertained here at a
smoker on October 9. The Astoria
men back of the enterprise, however,
will feel neither surprised or discour
aged if nothing comes of this nego
tiation, and they have other re
sources to turn to at once when the
time comes. ' !,

Land For Settlers
The Chamber of Commerce has
received a letter from Carl Block,
room 1102, 116 Nassua street, New
York City, in which he says that aa
agricultural society in Belgium has
asked him to obtain all necessary
data relating to desirable locations
on the Pacific Coast for the purpose
of farming, fruit raising and ranch-,
in .He says thai this society de
sires to colonize Belgium emigrant
on a large scale. He asks &e
names of any land companies or in
dividuals or actual owners of prop
erty and requests all such to conv
municte with him. He would like
to have their literature and any lit
erature and would especially be in
terested in propositions good for
dairying.
Epworth League Tonight .
A communication was banded into
this office stating that the Epworth
League of the First M. E. church,
would hold a Hallowe'eri party, and
it wa3 naturally presumed to be for
Saturday night. Request is made
that it be stated that this party is for
tonight at 8 o'clock, and not on
Hallowe'en.
Regatta Grandstand
The Regatta grandstand was not a
moneymaker this year, so members
of the Regatta committee announce.
While no money was actually lost;
still for one reason or another it was
not well patronized. . One principal
reason was that the showers kept
people away just when they might
have wished" to enter the grandstand-
